All Nigerian lawyers who still have conscience and do fear God MUST help all our affected compatriots, EVEN after they have all been paid salaries owed them by their employers to seek redress leading to compensations covering all the months/years at the Employment Tribunals/Industrial Arbitration Courts in the country. What is more, this CRASS WICKEDNESS must not be allowed in our country any more.

Currently, all the lawyers, judges and right actvists in that country have lost their senses of reason because all of them are looking forward to being considered as anti-corruption lawyers or sit on its panel/s or hoping to be appointed as ministers and into one political office or board appointment or another, hence they are no longer speaking out or are actually now defending Buhari's nepotism. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM!

Esteemed Mr President, much as this gesture is well appreciated, this is a very wrong way of doing things as due processes have been bypassed in your headline-seeking gesture and we hasten to say: DEMOCRACY IS NOT MILITOCRACY OR CIVILOCRACY OR THEOCRACY.
Only yesterday you and your other military gang members were on the instruction of the economically and politically iliterate emirs busy creating States just out of sentiment and jihadi purposes without considering the viability, consequences - short term/long of that crass stupidy - the same goes for LGAs - and having spent over 23 years working in the whole of the North, I can say with all sense of responsibility that most States and LGAs there are simply not viable, so must be collapsed into those that have over the years proved to be viable.

The best viability test is that if a State has not been able to pay salaries for three consecutive months, it shows such a State is no longer fit to exist to be draining the purse of the Federal Government.
Another worrisome question is, why is it that despite the quasi-Federal nature of our polity, no State has proved to be independent of the Centre by way of income generation?

In a Federal system, States are even supposed to trade with nations and have their foreign missions independent of the national diplomatic relations with the outside world. So when will their Excellencies put on their thnking cap? And impression MUST not always be created that the money is always there to be shared without their efforts at baking.
Apart from the oil money, are we saying the nation cannot survive with other natural endowments and many other ways of generating revenue that abound in a virgin economy like Nigeria?

Comparatively speaking, all the sectors of the nation's economy are still virgin and not yet saturated like the advanced economies/polities - this is where INNOVATIONS AND CREATIVITY come in - and ways of generating revenue into the coffers of governments in Nigeria are sooooooooooooooo many as I can see here from my OBSERVATORY! But because all the three levels of Government are on benefit, they have all become drones, parasites dodders and mistle toes, etc, hence governmental aspirations, ambitions and competitions do not exist at any level of government in Nigeria - because each of the governmental components know it can receive benefits from the Nigerian people.

Buhari must learn how not to to turn himself into FATHER CHRISTMAS and Governors and Council Chairpersons, must wake up from their slumber and put on their thinking cap.

Before the fall in the price of oil, I had been calling for the repositioning of the economy, but this sort of call in a BENEFIT-DEPENDENT GOVERNMENTS ENVIRONMENT, is offensive to all those who have grown used to the culture of FOOD IS READY. There can therefore, not be a more auspicious time than now for the nation to put the right machinery in place to inaugurate the tradition/culture of a multi-podal-multi-legged economy instead of the current monoculturalism or the one-legged economy. The nation cannot afford to stand on one leg for too long, so I urge all our economic managers, to in the name of God, wake up, be creative and innovative.
By the way, what are the conditions for obtaining this so-called loan from the central Government - what paper works were carried out or would be carried out before their excellencies dish their dirty fingers into the NATIONAL BENEVOLENT FUND (NBF)?
The federal government must put in the public domain how much each State has received and it is better to pay into designated banks accountable to the FG. How much does each State owe, biometrics of actual/living workers, how many ghost workers are there in all levels of government?

Henceforth, government at national level in conjuction with selected banks who must pay a specified non-refundable deposits into government coffers in order to participate in a national scheme to be known and called NATIONAL WORKERS SALARIES FUND (NWSF) or just PUBLIC ACCOUNT (PA), which will enable the national government post monthly salaries of all workers at all levels of government into workers' Accounts, instead of passing them through third parties such as ministries, parastatals, States, Local Governments, etc, whose heads may use them to feed their lavish lifestyles, buy jets, helicopters, exotic cars, deposit them in private accounts and receive upfront interests from the collaborative banks,

HENCEFORTH, no more jets/expensive cars and lavish life style for political officials and political officials must no longer use State funds as donation spree to churches, book launches, political campaigns, birthdays for VIPs, weddings, anniversary celebrations, buying of obituary spaces, newspaper spaces to debunk views of opponents or criticisms of their persons, actions and inactions in office.
